TO:             Dr. Otis A. Singletary, President:    and
                 Chairman and Members of the Board of Trustees
                 of the University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky

FROM:           Robert W. Blakeman
                 Director, Auxiliary Services

SUBJECT:        Report of Physical Inspection of the Housing and
                 Dining Buildings and Appurtenant Facilities of the
                 University's Housing and Dining System

        It has been brought to my attention in connection with the Housing
and Dining System Revenue Bonds, Series J. " that Section 1101 (c) " of
the Trust Indenture of June 1, 1965, requires as a condition precedent
that there be filed with the Trustee a certificate signed by an officer,
agent or employee of the Board principally charged with responsibility
for the maintenance and repair of the buildings and facilities comprising
the Housing and Dining System, approved by the President of the University
and by Resolution of the Board, showing that a physical inspection of such
buildings and facilities has been made and that they are found to be in a
good and current state of tenantability and repair, subject only to exceptions
for matters scheduled to be corrected and for which budgeted money is available.

       As Director of Auxiliary Services, I am the officer charged with such
responsibility, and this report is submitted responsive to the requirements
of the Trust Indenture.

        The Maintenance Staff of the University is adequate and is so equipped and
stocked that it is able to keep abreast of observed and reported structural and
mechanical defects and failures on a prompt and regular basis. Inspections of
roofs, tuck pointing, floors, stairways, elevators, heating and air-conditioning
systems and the like are on a scheduled basis according to their useful life
anticipation, and budgeted funds are such that renewals and replacements are a
part of an active, continuing program. Movable furnishings and fixtures are
repaired and replaced on a regular basis.
